What Vomatec does

VOMATEC Innovations GmbH, founded in 1992 and headquartered in Bad Kreuznach, Germany, develops cloud-based, modular software for fire brigades, industrial security, and German critical infrastructure (KRITIS) operators. The company's portfolio spans three core products: FLOW, a SaaS fire brigade administration platform with a freemium tier and a free companion CrewApp for members, covering personnel, equipment, vehicles, shifts, training, and incident documentation; ARIGON, a manufacturer-independent PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) and full Einsatzleitsystem that integrates fire alarms, intrusion, access control, video, and building management systems for Werkschutz, Wachdienste, Werkfeuerwehren, airports, and KRITIS operators; and TOXYK, a cloud subscription for real-time hazardous substance dispersion modeling used by first responders at chemical incidents. The technology stack is built on IONOS-hosted EU infrastructure with open HTTP/API interfaces and a growing integration network including DIVERA 24/7, FireCircle, MissionBuddies, Dräger Quaestor, and Gossen Metrawatt IZYTRONIQ; ARIGON Update 6.5 (May 2026) and FLOW's 16 releases/112 features in 2025 indicate unusually high development velocity for a 11–50-person firm.

The business model combines a freemium/PLG motion for FLOW with a sales-led enterprise motion for ARIGON and TOXYK. FLOW generates subscription revenue via a free tier (FLOW-Free for small brigades, Jugendfeuerwehr plan), a 30-day professional trial, and paid professional subscriptions, while ARIGON and TOXYK are sold via direct sales with custom quotes covering licensing, implementation, training, and ongoing service contracts. Distribution is omnichannel in DACH: direct enterprise sales, a growing integrator/Errichter network (expanded under new managing directors Sauter and Schmidt, ex-Sauter Automatisierung), major trade shows (INTERSCHUTZ, SECURITY Essen, PMRExpo, SICHERHEITS EXPO), co-branded webinars, and industry associations (WFV, VFS, VFDB). Research partnerships include the BMWK/ZIM-funded CAVISIKI AI project with artec technologies AG (2025–2026) and the BMBF-funded FEIR virtual-reality training project (2022–2025). The company remains privately held and self-funded, with no disclosed venture or private equity investment, and is led by founder/Managing Director Dr. Stephan Heuer alongside the two managing directors who joined in October 2025.
